When an employee leaves a company voluntarily or involuntarily employers often fear the worst. Departing employees may have had access to very important and confidential information of the employer – client/customer lists, vendor information, pricing information. How can it protected? Employees may allege they are due additional salary, bonuses or commissions. Might they sue? There may have been issues involving suspected or alleged harassment or discrimination. What’s the risk of liability? Employees might be disgruntled. Can anything be done to prevent disparagement of the company? And how much will it cost to prevent or limit the risk of these fears coming to fruition? Drafting separation agreements are complex and as important as employment agreements. This program will provide you with a practical guide to drafting employee separation agreements.
